“…Despite the dominance of the state or national language on monolingual signs and billboards around Sunan Ampel Tomb, multilingual signs and billboards can also be found. It has become a regular occurrence among the LL of countries that emphasize the policy of using the state or national language as the primary language of the country (Aristova, 2016;Backhaus, 2006;Baranova & Fedorova, 2019). The fact that English was the initial lingua franca in the multilingual situation can thus be deduced from the findings.…”

“…Migrations from one nation to others has led a territory inhibited by speakers of different languages and cultures. Living as migrant in new territories, they cannot deny the loss of their languages and cultures due to the restrictions made by the policy (Baranova & Fedorova, 2019). Other cases leading to specific issue in LL involve religion movements (see again Gorter, 2009).…”

The present study focuses on the languages operating on the written signage that contribute directly to theformation of the linguistic landscape. The study chose Sunan Ampel Tomb in Surabaya, Indonesia, as one ofthe sites that has become a heritage conservation due to the history hidden in the site. This site is a part of the other sites in a series leading to the history of nine saints (Wali Songo) who brought Islam to Indonesia through one of the islands, Java. The study aimed at describing the linguistic landscape of the site to help learn about the languages operating on the signage found in Sunan Ampel Tomb complex and the hidden history leading to multilingual multilingualism in the area. By using a direct observation and interview to gather the data,the study informs that the sites are typically dominated with Indonesian language operating in monolingualsignage. Despite a few in number, the multilingual signage can still be found to depict several languages including English, Arabic, and Indonesian language. The domination of Bahasa Indonesian demonstrates the implementation of policy for using the language as the national language. While English and Arabic are used for the business purpose. The study also discovers the characteristics of the language displaying on the signage from the size of the fonts. In conclusion, linguistic landscape in Sunan Ampel Tomb describes the history of how the saint brought Islam to the society. Arabic artifacts stereotyping Islam existence can hardly be found here, and it becomes a proof the saint taught Islam without trying to change the already existing customs, cultures, and languages as well.

This article illustrates the naming convention of historical monuments by the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union in Uzbekistan. The Russification is a form of cultural assimilation during which the non-Russian communities whether voluntary or involuntary gave up their culture or statehood or language in favor of the Russian culture. Undeniably, the Russification in the naming convention of Uzbekistan’s historical monuments still bears its legacy. For instance, the names of archaeological finding on the territories of Selengur—Kulbulak and Teshiktash—pronounced in the Russian phonetics rather than Uzbek. Rather, Kulbulak is ought to be spelled Qulbuloq; and, Teshiktash—Teshiktosh.

“…В последние десятилетия, в условиях постоянного притока в крупные города новых жителей с отличными от русского языками, вопросы многоязычия, казалось бы, должны были получить осознание, однако в целом они относительно мало артикулированы в публичном пространстве. Как отмечалось в [Fedorova, Baranova 2018; Baranova, Fedorova forthcoming;Kliuchnikova 2018], для российских городов характерен «монолингвальный фасад», проявляющийся как на уровне языкового ландшафта и практик употребления других, помимо русского, языков в публичном пространстве, так и на уровне представлений о нормах собственно русского языка, которые рассматриваются как крайне жесткие и обязательные, в том числе и для не-носителей. Как на этом фоне воспринимается увеличивающееся языковое разнообразие?…”
